Zebrias

They often live close to the coast in shallow waters ranging from 5–40 metres (16–131 ft) in depth.

[5] Like other flatfish, fish in the genus Zebrias avoid predators based by hiding and camouflaging.

Species in Zebrias begin their life as bilaterally symmetrical larvae that swim up-right with an eye on both sides of the head.

When transitioning into juvenile fish they metamorphose asymmetrically causing a dorsoventrally flat adult.

Often, their yellow tail is positioned vertically, which is thought to act as a lure to prey on organisms.

However, they are a part of the Soleidae, in which overfishing in Europe has caused many genera of sole fish to become endangered with declining populations.
